While we’re still over a year away from Marvel’s upcoming live action Doctor Strange film, Hasbro has decided to release an awesome new Doctor Strange themed Marvel Legends action figure box set exclusively at San Diego Comic-Con 2015!!! Thanks to USAToday, we now know this magical set will include 6” action figures of Doctor Strange in his translucent blue astral form, Brother Voodoo, mutant sorceress Magik, Asgardian goddess of death Hela and Strange’s archenemy, and ruler of the Dark Dimension, Dormammu. While I know fans are super excited to finally see the release of Magik in her current costume as part of the Marvel Legends toy line, I have no idea why she would be included in this set. The former New Mutant and current Cyclops ally really has nothing to do with Doctor Strange other than her mutant powers are magical in nature.

What really makes this exclusive special is its packaging! The San Diego Comic-Con 2015 Exclusive Doctor Strange Marvel Legends Action Figure Box Set comes packaged in a full color replica of the Book of Vishanti, Stephen Strange's iconic magical tome. It also includes a wearable Eye of Agamotto, a magical amulet worn by the Sorcerer Supreme. This awesome six piece box set will retail for $104.99 at Hasbro’s SDCC booth, with any remaining stock available after the convention at HasbroToyShop.com.
